It's interesting that the Huffington post went the other way, just this week. Dropping their in-house commenting system in favour of facebook-comments: http://www.huffingtonpost.com&#…

If latency isn't a problem a tape writer and a bunch of tapes can be very very very cheap...

Tagging replies, because reading is hard? This really just seems like spammy-self-promotion.

Yes I looked at several companies looking to see who I could use as a back-end, LuaDNS jumped out because I've an interest in Lua, but it seemed more like they'd be a competitor than a back-…

Looks good. I've been pondering git-dns.io for a while - storing DNS in git and using hooks to trigger rebuilds. Unfortunately most of the DNS resellers are expensive, and using Amazon means you…

Indeed, this is an LXC attack, rather than docker-specific. But, that said, the attack works as specified against docker 0.11.0. Largely because guests do have sysfs mounted at /sys.

Example here: http://blog.bofh.it/debian/id_413 * Got root in the countainer. * You "know" where that is mapped to on the host, because it is based on the UID of the co…

It used to be trivial to break out of docker containers, if you had root within them. I suspect that is still the case.

I found that using the foreign language regularly was the only way it "stuck". So as you say "immersion". I've married a Finnish woman, and we go through phases where we spea…

The results page consistently use "availible" instead of "available" which was a little jarring.

I think the biggest problem is the high-value domains are all reserved. e.g. "black.coffee" cannot be registered, nor can "gym.trainer", "fitness.trainer". Despite the ap…

If you're talking about automating the configuration of those hosts - to make sure that all of them have password authentication disabled, all of them are running ntp, etc, etc, then you need to …

> How much have you donated to open audit projects? Personally I've never donated for auditing, but in my free time I do look at code myself. Today I had to install a proxy server, so I downlo…

My solution was: <img src="foo" onMouseOver="alert(33);" Interesting to see so many people used onError instead.

I have to say I've been really impressed by the Cubox-i products. It's the first one I've used consistently and easily for several things. (Mostly using it as a media streamer, where o…

I suspect the submission of spam correlates to your traffic, more than anything else. I have some sites with a "contact me" form which get hammered, and others that get one or two hits a mon…

I run a site which provides an API for real-time testing of spam vs. ok submissions for blog comments, forum posts, and contact-forms. I handle about 250,000 submissions a day. Contact-forms can easil…

I'd agree, but I suspect that anybody who cares about PHP-performance has probably already moved to FPM.

Yeah it looks like my site fails at this - http://markdownshare.com/view/96996ce5-63bc-45ca-af49-ba18cb... …

Seconded - although I'm a little biased ;)

You know your site best - but I'd suggest that being able to scale is just good practice. You never know when your site is going to be posted to hacker news, or similar!

The downside there is performance overhead. If a user requests "/foo/bar/baz" you have to allow your webserver to stat "/foo/bar/baz/.htaccess", …

It certainly deletes the public-facings parts you can verify. However note that they claim it will take up to 180 days to delete your account. (I went through this last year, getting sufficiently ann…

I almost used it, but I found a decent logo via reddit: * http://www.reddit.com/r/freedesign/

I remember in 1982, or 1983, the family was given a 48k Spectrum, with a bunch of cassette tapes, for Christmas. Unfortunately the tape-player was broken, and because this was back in the 80s in the U…

My memory is hazy, so I cannot say for sure. The fact that I didn't document that as a requirement suggests that either I didn't know it was, or that I did, but it didn't help. Either …

When I was reviewing existing static site generators I couldn't make Hakyll install - but this was back under Squeeze (Debian). https://github.com/skx/static-site-generators …

I hacked up a simple commenting system for my static site, modelled after disqus but far less featureful: http://github.com/skx/e-comments/ As used on http://twea…
